Laphroaig 10, Cask Strength Batch #014, 58.6%
Generally, when official 10 year old Laphroaigs come out, they sell out instantly. Or at least, that was the premise to me, when I decided to get myself one of these. One half, to be exact, since my bottle was … Continue reading
Compass Box Menagerie, 46%
It’s been ages since I last tried a Compass Box whisky. Or at least, since I last reviewed one. There was the Transistor, which I did with Punk IPA next to it in February, but before that it was 2018. … Continue reading

Laphroaig Cairdeas 12, Feis Ile 2009, 57.5%
An older sample I got somewhere, probably from Tom van Engelen, since he’s recently turned in to a supplier of good Islay whisky from years gone by. This one is from the Cairdeas (‘friendship, in Gaelic’) range, which is Laphroaig’s … Continue reading
Laphroaig 21, 1987-2009, Refill Hogshead DL 4855, 50% – Old Malt Cask
Even though this is an older Laphroaig in two ways, both well aged and from quite some years ago, my mate TvE shared it at a very acceptable price. I didn’t have to think for long to decide whether to … Continue reading
Laphroaig Càirdeas Triple Wood, 59.5% – OB for Feis Ile 2019
Another Feis Ile bottling. One I must I admit I had already forgotten about. I’m pulling from a backlog of tasting notes since I’ve not been tasting much the last few months. It’s only very occasionally that I feel my … Continue reading

Laphroaig 20yo, 1998-2018, 54.3% – Cadenhead
Since yesterday was Laphroaig’s day on Feis Ile (if I’m not mistaken), I decided to do a very private version of that, by finally drinking this sample of a 20 year old bottling from Cadenhead. It’s a mix of two … Continue reading
Laphroaig 20, 1995-2015, 58.4% – SMWS (Essence of Islay)
Yet another completely random sample that I most likely got from a Bottle Share. As you can see by the year of bottling in the title, this has been collecting dust for about four years, with me completely forgetting about … Continue reading

Bad-ass Whisky Night at De Whiskykoning #3
Last Friday it was time for the sort-of annual bad-ass whisky night at Whiskyslijterij De Koning in my old home town of Den Bosch. Man have I dropped a year’s salary there over the last decade… Anyway, the concept of … Continue reading
